Licorice liqueur

Liquorice liqueur is typical of the Calabria region. It is a strong flavored #liqueur with a full bodied and velvety consistency. It is excellent served iced or to accompany ice cream and mousse. This liqueur can be easily made at home, either using licorice pieces or even powdered licorice.

It is a good digester because it counteracts gastric acidity and protects the stomach, but also as an anti-inflammatory. It is very effective in the treatment of cough and sore throat.
